This is the 1/26 Scale Louise Steam Launch Wooden Boat Kit from Constructo. Recommended for Experienced Modelers. The Louise is a replica of a Victorian steam launch. At that time, steam launches on the Thames were owned only by wealthy people. Today only replicas of these boats remain, but there are many devoted enthusiasts in Great Britain and the U.S. who sail them on rivers and lakes purely for fun and entertainment purposes. They recall the early years of steam propulsion, one of the most beautiful times in naval history. FEATURES: Sapelly and Mukaly wood planked hull and deck.
